@floridagremlin42069 ... 31" Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's .... awesome tires in the snow ... but you gotta remember this is an offroad only vehicle, so the rear diff is welded.
The Cherokee line of Jeeps should never have stopped...Now just the Grand Cherokee...The 4.0 is an AMC hold over and Chysler tweeked it...Mine is a 95 Country, first full year they were Chrysler, but I've got 225-75R-15's and it's not raised, stock...Goes where ever I want it to go and no thoughts of selling it, love it too much...
lifting them is a bitch though. its not just adding a leaf spring, and new coils and new shocks and track bar... it takes an act of congress to lift the thing! lol
I grew up in southwest Michigan, so I am familiar with what works in the snow. The XJ being one of the best I have ever seen. Now, I live at 7100' ASL in east central Nevada, which we get even more snow than you guys back east... and you know what? The XJ still rules! Albeit, with a little better tires and some lift, but they still kick ass!
And this is why I just bought another XJ! If you want a real man's Cherokee you either buy an XJ or an old SJ. If you are an old woman and want comfort, then get a Grand Cherokee -- I will pull you out when you get stuck... for a price! XJs rule!
@whatchagondo45 It depends on how they are setup. The XJ weighs a little less and has better weight distribution than a ZJ or WJ, so they tend to be a little better on steep hills. I just like getting people riled up a little, to see how may times I can be cussed. No, I like ALL Jeeps. The XJ just suits my needs better than the rest.
@kc8ntp i can agree to that! except for the all Jeeps thing... not a fan of Libertys, Commanders, cuz to me, theyre not Jeeps. theyre just manufactured by Jeep.
@1998classicXJ ... Just a plain jane 4.0 I-6 with a 5 speed. There is no exhaust on it except for about 4 ft after the manifold. The snow has the sound muffled, its louder than what it seems in the video, but its not too loud where it dont sound good anymore.
@whatchagondo45 ... YEP!! there all the time .. i usually try to get there at least twice a month ... my jeeps been there everytime ... I live about an hour away from there ... i actually used to drive tractor trailer OTR for Strimbu's right there at the main intersection, which was really nice cause i used to just leave from work on fridays and go there before i went home.
@kawkx500 theres a great way to spend your friday night after work! beer and mud. im lookin forward to goin there this year again. however, the girlfriend isnt going to like that... she knows the types of girls that go there... if you know what i mean lol
I been doing stuff like this my whole life. Keep an eye out for me out there this year, my cherokee is rattle canned flat black and it has my name ( mike ) on the drivers side front fender and my wifes name ( steph ) on the passenger side front fender. Keep an eye out for my truck in the tug o war, its a dark blue F-250 crew cab .. it has " V-10 Inside " decals on rear side windows. I pull it in the road legal truck pulls there also. Maybe we can hang out a little .. lol.
man i gotta stock 97 and i live right where we got slamed the hardest by this storm and mine amazed me we were gettin outta stuff that the lifted wranglers couldn't lol
what kind of tires you got on it that thing goes through the snow quite nicely
